Nadine Paulus

This fiery German winger strikes terror into defenses with an electric first touch and blistering acceleration, though her balance can leave her clumsily hitting the grass. Before kickoff, she insists on braiding her shoelaces into intricate knots while whispering to her boots, a ritual that leaves her teammates both baffled and slightly terrified. Her unstoppable drive defines her game, even when her technical dribbling feels a bit stiff under pressure.
